When shit happens, friends and family are there. . . but why did I have to be on both ends?
If you are eating, stop. Or if you are about to eat, it would be a wise decision to postpone this post.
Last night I learned something about our house:
ALL the water lines are connected.
I was upstairs making dinner, when Matt came up and told me:
"You won't believe what happened."
"What?" I say
"When I flushed the toilet, it came back up through the shower drain!"
The reason he knows, is because he was taking a dump - if it were the other, I doubt he would have noticed.
So imagine THAT comming up the drain.
Yeah, that is what I had to deal with.
We then proceeded to argue about who should clean it up, and he then anounced he had to go to work.
I got mad. That is all I will say.(Hello! He left me a plie of poop to clean up!)
I called my parents, and they said to call an old plumer friend, who, luckly lives up the street. I told them (red faced) what happened, and he said that he would be right over.
It was kind of like going to the gynocologist: I had to remind myself that he had seen these things before, and it was no big deal that he was wallowing around in our waste. . . EWWWW! Even NOW it disgusts me!!! (I was still really emarassed though.)
He had a huge snake that he used to fix it, and then he gave me a break, and only charged me $100.
I said thank you the whole time he was backing out of the driveway.
I was just starting to clean up, when I heard the doorbell ring.
It was his wife, comming to return the check. I argued with her for a long time, saying that was his job, and he most definetly should get paid for wallowing around in unpleasentness.
She told me that is what friends are for, it only took him 15 min., and that she remembers what it was like starting out, and knew we could use the money for something else.
Makes me a little wet in the eye to know there are still people like that. :)
I still plan on getting them a gift card, and baking them a peach pie, just as a thank you.
(I hope the husband wasn't mad that she made him give it back!!!)

Dental Drama
Ok, if you want to see me cry, take me to the dentist.
My poor mom knows this more than anybody, I think. :)
I had my first cavity in a couple years filled today. I was dreading it, but being a mature, worldly girl that I am, I figure that I had grown out of my fear.
Ohhhh, so not so.
I was sitting back in the chair, and BAM! He didn't even warn me! One minnute he was numbing my gum with that vasiline stuff, the next I feel a prick and open my eyes to a saringe in my mouth!!! AHHH!!!!
After he was done, I told him he was tricky. That seemed to make his day.
Bastard.
Then, he LEFT me to go talk to some old lady who wanted every dark spot on her x-ray explained.
So there I was ,FREAKING out, slowly loosing feeling in my gum, and I don't know what hit me, but I started to cry.
Luckly, no one was around me.
However, when he came back in and started drilling, I started right back up again. After about a minnute, he stopped the drill, and told me I had to be still. That I was "shaking like a leaf," he called it. Well, it was scarry!!!
Then he had this vibrating thing he used before he filled the cavity, and then WHILE he was filling it, my other tooth had this "tooth trap" around it,and it was pinching my gum!!! Poor teeth. I bet it will hurt once the numbness wears off.
In the mean time, I can't eat till I can feel everything again, and I am hungry!!!

Puppy fun
Doesn't he look cute?!?! My little bummble bee!
Kody was a ladybug. . .
Matt thought it would be funny if he was a BLIND ladybug. . . I don't think Kody liked it!
Ok, I know it is upside down, but I was taking it with my left hand! It kept getting in the way!!!
Squirt is always miserable when I first put a costume on him. It is so funny to see him standing there and glaring. :P

A New grip
Since I moved here, I haven't really found a church that I connect with, so I have been listining to alot of christian music. I suggest "East to west" by casting crowns, and "Motions" by Matthew West. Both very good! I feel closer to God when I listen to these songs, and if I am having a bad day, they just seem to calm me down. I found this picture and I thought it was so cute and funny!!! Enjoy this picture, and if you go and check out those songs, let me know what you think!

Just a little Harry . . . Potter that is.
I just got done seeing Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Although it left out a few parts, I felt like it did a pretty good job on getting the key points in there.
A few I would like to have seen are:
The combat between good guys vs. bad guys . . . that is half the fun!
The part where "Flem", um, you know, Flur deCore (or whatever her last name is,) is staying at the Weasleys.
More memories!!! (Toms mother, Tom applying for the position of Dark Arts teacher . . . that would explain why no one has ever held a job for more than a year.)
One thing I liked that wasn't in the book was when Harry and Ginny were chasing after Belatrax in the hay feild. I liked it. Gave the movie tempo.
I just gotta say, . . I LOVE the people who play Lavander and Luna. Must have something to do with the "L's" They are hillarious.

Huzzah for the rennesance!
So everyone, my weekend was pretty great. I bearly thought about work, my in-laws came, stocking my fridge (and belly!) with food, my little sis was here, and we all went to the renissance fesitval! There were the best ladies there called the "washing wenches". It was the best show I have ever seen. Of coarse, there were old favorites, such as "Puke and Snot", the jousting tournament, a rock band of bagpipes, and many friendly lords and ladies! We saw many vendors there, all selling fun goods. We saw from hats, to costumes, to huge turkey legs that you could carry around, eating like a person back in the day!!!
It was so much fun!
Sutton, (my step-mother-in-law,) my little sister, and I all went. My little sis didn't think that she would have fun, but I think that she is the one that had the best time! It is always so much fun to be surprised!!!
We were just leaving the fair, and it started pouring!!! We got drenched, and to make it even more hectic, we forgot where we parked. :P hehehe.
We got even more wet.
It was soooo much fun though. I got a cool hat, and I am deffenitly going to dress up next year. I had garb, but I didn't WEAR IT!!! Geeze, I wish I did!!! Oh well, DEFEINETLY next year.
